What are the built-in Python modules that can work as useful command-line tools? How can these tools add more functionality to Windows machines? Christopher Trudeau is back on the show this week, bringing another batch of PyCoder's Weekly articles and projects.


When you’re playing a point, it is the most important thing in the world. But when it’s behind you, it’s behind you… This mindset is really crucial, because it frees you to fully commit to the next point… and the next one after that… with intensity, clarity and focus. The truth is, whatever game you play in life… sometimes you’re going to lose. A point, a match, a season, a job… it’s a roller coaster, with many ups and downs. And it’..

Advancement and continued learning are top of mind for employees. We asked three Elastician engineers who have advanced their careers at Elastic for their top tips. Read them here.

I got a paper published at ECOOP this year! This is my first big paper published at a big conference. As such, I wanted to write down some things that I learned so that in the future I can remember a bit better what was hard for me. That way, should I one day advise PhD students working on their first papers, I can help them through the learning curve better. For us, this artifact took the form of a Docker container with a bash scri....

https://monsoonstation.com/ Monsoon Station is a real-time weather music project that generates evolving sonic landscapes from live atmospheric data. It listens to the sky continuously, translating changes in the structure of the atmosphere into sound. In addition to surface measurements like temperature, pressure, and wind speed, Monsoon Station draws on radiosonde data from NOAA—weather balloons that […]


Introduction I recently attended a ten day silent retreat near Worcester, South Africa . I thought it would be interesting to relate my experiences here, and discuss some of the ideas that were presented. The term vipassanā is often translated as ‘insight/wisdom meditation’, and resides firmly in the Buddhist tradition. Depending on which Buddhist text you refer to, it could mean either a specific meditation technique or a specific qu....

I’ve been using Home Assistant to control many things at my smart home, including a couple of lights which are toggled on and off with motion sensors. I have one of these in the bathroom, so the motion sensor detects when I enter the bathroom and its light turns on, and the light turns back off if the motion sensor doesn’t detect any motion in a specific period (60 seconds). Setting this automation is very easy using the motion-activate..

Introduction: Welcome to the first episode of our “Intro to Generative A.I” series!

Hi, “RCoffee [ein internes Tool zur Content Produktion] greift per SSH auf die Testserver zu und stellt die Tomcat Logs dar” Wow. Das kam überraschend. Seit einem Jahr arbeite ich mit diesem Kunden zusammen. Die Applikation ist Marktführer in ihrer Sparte und die aktuelle Version wurde vor über 10 Jahren entwickelt. Da hat sich natürlich einiges angesammelt. Und wenn ich beauftragt werde, dann ist die technische Schuld meist ..

I’ve always been a bit of a data hoarder. Ever since I heard of Kiwix - a tool for “downloading the internet” - I’ve been meaning to try it out. If you want to skip the explanation, here is my code on GitHub: github.com/whusterj/kiwix-torrent-watcher How it Works With Kiwix, you first download entire sites like Wikipedia as a ZIM file. Kiwix is the software you use to browse these files offline. What a great idea and right up ....

One of the things that has sparked a lot of joy in my life in the last two years was building an app to keep track of "podcasts" I want to listen to. I'm using podcast in a very loose sense here, it's more

CSS selectors never cease to amaze me in how powerful they can be in matching complex patterns. Most of that flexibility is in parent/child/sibling relationships, very seldomly in value matching. Consider my surprise when I learned that CSS allows matching attribute values regardless off case! Adding a {space}i to the attribute selector brackets will make […] The post Case Insensitive CSS Attribute Selector appeared first on David Wals..

The hype is unfortunately not real. A software engineer's — not humanities or philosopher's — take on the alphabet soup: LLMs, AI, AGI, and ASI.



Rust is super fast. Python is super flexible. Porting slow python code to rust can make your life a lot easier, and it’s not too difficult to set up. I will demonstrate rust bindings for summing the integers in a large text file containing a billion digits that looks like 6,9,8,3,0,1,8,4,9,7,6,3,4,2,6,0,0,5,1,1, . . . ,4,5,9,3,3,2,8,3 General steps install rust and maturin set up boilerplate add your function compile and import ..

A year ago I walked out of the office for the last time. I handed in my corpo laptop, said some good-byes, and since then I have been my own boss. This first year has been funded by an NLnet grant, which I’m in the midst of wrapping up. As of now, the work is all done, the final request for payment has been sent. There’s a similar last-day-of-school levity to both these events.


Working on a web extension that ships to an app store and isn’t immediately modifiable, like a website, can be difficult. Since you cannot immediately deploy updates, you sometimes need to bake in hardcoded date-based logic. Testing future dates can be difficult if you don’t know how to quickly change the date on your local […] The post How to Set Date Time from Mac Command Line appeared first on David Walsh Blog .

I’ve spent a lot of time building everything which I store in GitHub, so I want to make sure I have a backup of it. Here’s how I have been doing it for years now, and it has worked like a charm! The Problem With the increasing reliance on GitHub for storing code and managing projects, it’s crucial to have a backup strategy to prevent loss of data. GitHub provides redundancy and reliability, but having your own backup gives you peace of mind..
